The video might be good (haven't watched it yet), but the title "MURDERED by NARCONON Gregory Wisner.wmv" is a little over the top. I don't think we want to engage in that type of sensationalism (the truth is bad enough).

"The City called it a "self inflicted shell game" The board was unimpressed by the cult of scientology. They wanted to be treated special yet they also wanted to be treated like the majority who make an honest attempt at code compliance or through hardship request large fine reductions.cancellations.The city and board ws having none of their bs. Their attorney's failed to impress﻿ with their irrelevant history of other cases."

In The Top 25 People Crippling Scientology #13: Janet Reitman (and other journalists) Tony Ortega wrote:

[..] One of the reasons you place the worldwide headquarters of a secretive organization on a 700-acre compound in the middle of the Southern California desert is so that you can keep what you're doing away from the prying eyes of major media. Scientology has always counted on sleepy Riverside County leaving it alone as it goes about its bizarre business at its "Int" or "Gold Base" near Hemet.

But Scientology didn't count on Nathan Baca, an aggressive and persistent television reporter working for little KESQ, the ABC affiliate in Palm Springs.

Through A Blue Lens documents a year of life and death on the street and behind tenement walls. The striking thing about the film is not the horror of drug abuse but the story of how the interaction between the police and the drug addicts, with the camera as a catalyst, actually changed the people involved. The cops became more sympathetic to the people on the street and the drug addicts, in having friendship extended to them by the police and film makers, developed self esteem and, in some cases, actually cleaned up.

Yes, I saw that on WWP in David's thread. Thanks for posting it here. Kids watching that sure seem to get a jolt. I know I was moved by it.
